WHAT IF- The accusation that someone is MAGA, an “election denier,” a “climate denier,” a “data denier,” etc., is just a deceptive way for the CENSOR to be a “free speech denier,”-
that is, of denying one’s political opponent the right to express their opinion?
WHAT IF all of these sophists just like to silence dissent, like Sophocles being condemned to drink hemlock-poison, because HE was 'dangerous', a 'denier', who prodded people to ask questions?
Does anybody remember the ACLU of Skokie, which actually fought for free-speech, no matter WHO disliked what people said?

I think you mean the philosopher, Socrates -- not the tragedian.
I do have a bunch of election deniers in my own neighborhood & it is their right to believe whatever they like.
However, since reason will not work on these people, the best way to deprogram them is to make them count every single ballot by hand and livestream it
(and safety checks to prevent tampering)
I'd like to point out here that what Musk says should be seen as strictly aspirational (to be generous). Just to take one example from the last few days, see his change of heart on how much Twitter's blue check mark is going to cost.
The only thing that matters is what he does. I'd rather we focus on what Musk is doing instead of what he's saying.

It's really not.
Look, you also have people believing that the Earth is flat & the moon landing was faked etc etc
It doesn't change the fact the above are not true.
You & I may not agree on that right, but it is there & as long as people don't break the law or resort to violence then they can be ignored as fringe cases
The moment we lay down a law on what is the correct "thought", then we have jumped over to CCP territory, because that same law can come back & bite us in the future
I want James Lindsay unbanned. His case is a litmus test of previous Twitter's insanity.

So there was no law breaking or violence in relation to people thinking the election was "stolen" people are free to believe all the wacky conspiracy theories they want until that stuff start having real world consequences.
Did you know that birds aren't real? They're all government drones sent to spy on us
Did you know fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hardcore Commie works.I think you mean the philosopher, Socrates -- not the tragedian.

WHAT IF- The accusation that someone is MAGA, an “election denier,” a “climate denier,” a “data denier,” etc., is just a deceptive way for the CENSOR to be a “free speech denier,”-
that is, of denying one’s political opponent the right to express their opinion?
WHAT IF all of these sophists just like to silence dissent, like Sophocles being condemned to drink hemlock-poison, because HE was 'dangerous', a 'denier', who prodded people to ask questions?
Does anybody remember the ACLU of Skokie, which actually fought for free-speech, no matter WHO disliked what people said?

OK, how exactly can you live next to these people, interact with them daily, and not understand this simple point:
They do not care about facts!
Facts will never change their minds. You can live stream every hand-counted ballot, and they will just invent new justifications to believe what they want. Nothing you can show them will ever change their minds.
They did not arrive at their conclusion due to a lack of facts. They arrived at their conclusion due to motivated reasoning, a desire to believe that everyone secretly agrees with them. They do not want to believe that their policies are unpopular; therefore, they believe that the elections that prove this were rigged.
We are way, way past that bro.I think you mean the philosopher, Socrates -- not the tragedian.

Problem is, he's already intervened. Mark Finchem, a candidate for AZ Sec of State, had his ban overturned this week.
This move will displease basically everyone.
Advertisers aren't going to get on board before they see what actually happens and white supremacists are going to be angry until they get blood.
When satire becomes reality.I guess the American Nazi Party is a civil rights group now.

Advertisers will wait until the heat dies down, then slowly creep back in. Remember Facebook? Or even Russia (companies are using fronts to sell products in Russia).
They aren't in it for the morality of the situation. They're in it for money.

The mouth positioning on a flute makes playing it with your ass impossible. However, a trumpet or a trombone is quite different, especially since you "buzz" through the mouthpiece to get the horn to sound. I can play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on the trumpet through my ass, but the trombone has proven to be an altogether different beast. You see, with the smaller valve-operated trumpet, I can lay on my back, bring my knees up to both sides of my head with my ass in the air, and reach my arms over the backs of my legs to play the music. The slide-operated trombone, on the other hand, requires acts of contortion that I've yet to master, not to mention excessive beans and garlic prior to the performance.

The whole idea is to keep calm so they don't get triggered & show up with a firearm at your doorstep & do something stupid
